A team of Year 5 and 6 children recently competed in the SportsHall Athletics competition at Shenley Academy and finished in a creditable 6th place given the level of competition. In the track events, the team won 8 out of the 10 ‘heats’ (finishing 2nd and 3rd in the other two) but the times were not quite as fast as schools competing in the other ‘heats’. A fantastic performance and team effort by all – well done! In particular, the organisers have informed us that Farhaan and Kyle Rio secured a ‘bronze medal’ position overall in the 6-lap Parlaauf event with a time of 1min 26s (1st place – 1min 21s; 2nd place – 1min 23s).

The boy’s football team finished in 2nd place at the Harborne Schools 4-a-side competition at the Futsal Arena, remaining unbeaten throughout (even drawing with the eventual winners!). Some great football, teamwork and sportsmanship on display! Well done boys!

We would like to wish all our children and their families, a happy new year!

We are all excited by the sports opportunities that will be offered to the children this term, including new after school clubs, holiday clubs, street dance, inter-school competitions in different sports, skipping and orienteering workshops, and Sport Relief.

To ensure we understand what you want in terms of our school’s sport and physical activity offer so that it meets the needs of all the children, we will shortly be sending out a pupil and parent questionnaire. This will help up shape and enhance PE and sport at Four Dwellings as strive to be ‘outstanding’ in every respect.
